Wha..?
New Massive Attack album? How did I manage to miss this one? (thanks jess, for picking it up!)
So, then, how is it? Well… here’s to hoping that it will grow on me.
I guess my main problem, is that it feels like a lot of it has been done before. Both Mezzanine and Protection hit me right away is being amazing pieces of work—and I guess I can see how this is a progression from Mezzanine… Maybe it’s going to be more like Blue Lines, and take a few rotations to warm up to…
I don’t know. I think I need to listen to it more before passing any real judgment.
Unfortunately, Virgin really fucked up with this one; reading online all the non-U.S. released CDs came with some nasty copy protection schemes, resulting in all kinds of problems. Bad move, guys.
